In order to help his friend prepare for a talk at DEFCON this weekend, [Craig] built an IR photodiode amplifier circuit. The circuit extended the detection range of the hack from a few inches to a few ...

Although advances in photonics and electronics are making it easier and cheaper to implement a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system, the analog front-end receiver interface still presents many ...

In this section we shall discuss the interface between a photosensor and its associated electronics. There are really just two photocell applications – light measurement, and the reception of ...

Follow these seven steps to successfully select a photodiode sensor and design an analog front end for a range of applications such as optical communications and light-based measurements. The energy ...
